Netbeans 6.5.1 breakpoints DONT BREAK where 6.5 RC2 worked fine

[jlippiner]

I recently upgraded (or downgraded) to 6.5.1 and found that the breakpoints in my rails apps are not breaking for debugging as they should. If I add ruby-debug and then use the ole debugger command, the IDE will break at the debugger command but still ignores the breakpoints.

Breakpoints were the sole reason I switched from TM. How do I get them working again? I'm using Mongrel and the latest versions of ruby and rails.

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Do you use JRuby or MRI (CRuby)? Can you try whether it works in 6.7 dev
builds
(http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyInstallation#section-RubyInstallation-GettingADevelopmentBuild)?

Also, what versions of the ruby-debug-base and ruby-debug-ide gems you
have installed?

Thanks,
Erno

Well as for the Ruby Platform I am using "Ruby 1.8.6-p287" and Mongrel 1.1.5 as the server.

As for the ruby-debug-base and ide:
ruby-debug (0.10.3)
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3, 0.10.2)
ruby-debug-ide (0.4.4, 0.4.3, 0.3.1)

I'm not ready to start playing with 6.7 but I can tell you it worked great in 6.5 RC2.

Best,

Josh

Well there is a .gitignore and .DS_store directory within my app directory that has an @ in the listing.

As for running rdebug_ide, I get this:

11:34 AM ~/NetBeansProjects/TestApp => ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.5/bin/rdebug-ide _0.3.4_ -p 1234 -d -- lib/main.rb
/Users/joshua.lippiner/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.5/bin/rdebug-ide:51: warning: already initialized constant ARGV
Using ruby-debug-base 0.10.3
Usage: rdebug-ide is supposed to be called from RDT or NetBeans. The command line interface to ruby-debug is rdebug.

Erno -

I found another clue I think. I opened a different Rails app and the breakpoints worked.

Also, I tried 6.7 and the breakpoints still did not work.

Any thoughts?

I guess it could be related to file permissions (some folks were having
similar problems that turned out to be permission related). What if you
run NB under sudo?

It probably would be worth trying to remove those attributes (if
possible), but I'm not sure whether that will help. So the app directory
itself doesn't have any extended attributes?

I need to investigate why rdebug-ide isn't working for you from the
command line.

Sorry, how do I do that?

[Erno Mononen]

On Ubuntu you just go to the NB install dir and do

$ sudo bin/netbeans

I'd guess it's something similar on Mac.
